I’ve been going down VP for over 30yrs now and I’ve seen 2 wins against these fecking spunktrumpets. So whilst I agree that a draw would be a decent result, I hope we smash them and the fans coach blows up on the M25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 You know it's so like us to be a goal down within the first minute. I do hope that's not the case and we can witness something special. Fingers crossed. Come on me Babbys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 This is a much much easier game than Brighton next week. I think we can win without even being at our best. Utd are not a good side. No Fernandes, who isn't great, but everything goes through him for them. Hopefully Maguire plays. Interested to see what Emery does. I hope he doesn't go for Ings and Watkins up front in a two, don't see either being at their best as the forward dropping a bit deeper. Rather just stick Buendia there tbh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

srsmithusa Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I'll enjoy seeing us play. I'll enjoy seeing what Unai tries and how the lads execute it. But I'm not gonna read a whole lot into it. Of course I hope we play amazingly and win convincingly, but i won't think it's a sure sign of greatness to come if we do... nor will i think the dream is over if we get beaten handily. Tomorrow is educational for us about what he is going to try first (I think he has the flexibility to have a plan b and c if needed) and how the players respond to him. That's all. It will be a lot more fun if it's all roses and victory. But it won't the future of Villa make, either way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdman Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Going to the game with family so just hope it's sn entertaining one. Bonus if we get anything out of it and there is no ref incompetence or VAR balls ups. Not asking for much lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted November 6, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 6, 2022 After all this hype and optimism, and not that I think this will happen, but I wonder how the fans would react if we got turned over. I mean properly spanked. I hope we'd keep level heads, but that would almost be a bigger kick in the balls than if we'd made no changes. Anyway, I think we'll put up a fight and narrowly lose out tonight, following it up with a win in the cup next week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are much better in the last few games than last season and they still managed to finish in the Europa spots last season. Not saying they’re unbeatable but it won’t be an easy game.

Both tough. Both games we can get results from but a point from either game would be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 We need to win this one with our league position in mind. I doubt we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 You just know whats going to happen united won't play well we will dominate make a mistake like last time we played them and make it harder for ourselves that it needs to be. The only thing is its hard for anyone to predict how emery is going to setup today thats whats makes difficulty when playing a new manager. Thats where i believe alot of this "honeymoon period" comes from. I have a feeling chambers could be in for a suprise start 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) We've beat them in the cup, we've beat them at their place, but it is really high time that we beat them again at home in the league. We have gone 23 league games at Villa Park since we last did so (a winless run top flight record). Villa fans who are aged under 30, won't ever have seen us beat them in a league game at Villa Park! It was that long ago that Yorke was playing for us and not for them. Beckham was one of the "kids" that Mark Lawrenson said afterwards on MOTD, that you can't win anything with. It has been years 27 long years, lets win this one today!!! Edited November 6, 2022 by John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osmark86 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Not expecting anything out of this game. If we can get a draw that's a great result all things considered atm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one is most definitely on the players, hopefully no - one as told them that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCU Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Be an interesting one today. I know he’s barely been in a week but I’m intrigued to see if there’s any change in our attitude or style of play. Also depends which Man Utd turn up. No Fernandes is a plus.
